Today we commemorate Juneteenth, a day that marks the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and hope.

On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free. This historic day became known as Juneteenth and is recognized as a time to reflect on our nation's journey toward liberty and equality for all.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us honor the courage and perseverance of those who endured hardship while continuing to strive for freedom. May we also remember the importance of understanding our shared history and working together to build a brighter future.

June 6, 1944 — D-Day
Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and determination of the Allied forces who landed on the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. On D-Day, more than 150,000 troops embarked on one of the largest military operations in history, beginning the liberation of Western Europe from N**i occupation.

We remember the young men who faced impossible odds, the families who waited and prayed at home, and all who served in the cause of freedom. Their bravery changed the course of history and secured the blessings of liberty for future generations.

As we reflect on their service, may we never forget the price paid for freedom and the enduring legacy of those who answered the call of duty.

"These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent." — Ronald Reagan
